General FAQ

I want to join P3 but I cannot budget my membership fee.

82% of our members expense all or part of their membership to their companies as a professional development opportunity, continued learning opportunity, or professional membership. Many companies include this as a benefit or are open to discussing sponsorship.

If you are unable to expense your membership but need help covering your membership costs, please apply to the program. Upon acceptance to the program, please reach out to our staff regarding scholarship opportunities.

Our scholarship rewards are on a case-by-case basis. We will review your application promptly and follow up with further information.

Follow up within a week if you do not hear back.

Why do I have to pay for my membership to P3?

P3 is a curated community of professional women offering live programming and targeted community events.

Through membership, you will gain access to 8 Parity Talks with industry experts. In Host cities (New York, NY and San Francisco, CA) there will be live events with time for questions and networking. In Hub cities (Boston, MA, London, Los Angeles, CA, Washington, DC) and Online, these will be recorded and posted, in addition to an online suite of materials for further engagement.

Additionally, if you are in a Host or Hub city, you will be placed in a Parity Pod, a curated group of 8-10 women in your industry who meet once monthly to discuss and workshop the monthly content. This will be led by a Pod Leader, a senior woman in the community who can facilitate and mentor their Pod group.

You will also have the opportunity to attend a quarterly meet up with all of the women in your city, in addition to access to our national directory and online community.

Why should I take advantage of the Host or Hub city options, as opposed to the online only option?

If you have the opportunity to join us in a Host or Hub city, we highly recommend you join us in that format. At our core, Parity is a community. Live events and pod meetings are amazing opportunities to meet other professional women and create long lasting relationships.
